]]>For many business owners the idea of making a website is scary. The technology being one of the hardest areas to learn.

My Story: I had no clue how to build websites and one of the first jobs out of school required me to build a website for an HVAC company. I had built it with a make-shift software program. It looked pretty bad because I didn’t know any better. It was sparse, images were misaligned. I did the best I could.

Forward a few years, I got a job at a SEO/web design firm where I experienced Joomla and then later WordPress. Very different experience. I dove right into Joomla which is very confusing. Then found WordPress which was much easier to work with. That’s not to say I didn’t have my own mishaps.

I consider WordPress the easiest platform to navigate. I could easily find pages and posts but found CSS and PHP difficult. As time passed, I found templates and plugins that made my life much easier.

Now, I consider myself a WordPress expert but only after 6+ years of working with the platform, countless mistakes and numerous sleepless nights. Business owners can use WordPress to make their own website but be prepared to put in the hours learning the technology. If you want to save time, hire a professional like me to help you.

WooCommerce is a great plugin for a shopping cart but I can’t even explain how many maintenance problems it has given my clients over the years. Anything you can think of can go wrong! That’s why I’d like to give you my review of WooCommerce vs Shopify.

WooCommerce: Highly Customized Products

WooCommerce is a free plugin and has a great checkout process, many 6 figure online shopping carts use WooCommerce successfully to make money online. The ROI on installing Woo can be enormous and that’s what draws business owners to it. If you have already paid for hosting, have a WordPress install you too can have an online store for free. Setting up Woo is very easy but setting up things like sales tax, payment gateways and SSL that are needed require a developer. Any customization to the checkout process or API’s you need from wholesalers or shippers require a developer ($25.00-$120.00/hour). Once it is set up, I would recommend keeping that developer on speed dial because of all the issues WooCommerce has. Confirmation emails will fail to go out, payments don’t process, the shops won’t get orders, shipping fees are incorrect ext. the list goes on and on.

Shopify: Self Managed

Shopify is a stand alone eCommerce solution and platform. It can be managed by clients themselves because Shopify provides the support. They also make it very easy to setup the website. The designs are limited because you have to use Shopify’s templates and the pricing is at $29.00 per month and I think they also take a service fee for credit card transactions. I have seen requests for developers on the forums specifically for Shopify help. So this platform isn’t flawless but I guarantee it has more uptime than WooCommerce.

]]>I’ve seen Wix many times in the current entrepreneur streams as a website solution.

A few mistakes I hope new business owners won’t make.

1. Buying your domain and website platform together. Companies will stick them together and if you need to move to another service it’s difficult to get your domain unstuck and transferred to a different register. Use a domain name provider like GoDaddy to register your domain, then you can point it to any hosting provider you want.

2. SEO: Wix now has SEO and Google Analytics capabilities but I don’t think any platform can do SEO like WordPress can, the indexing capabilities and the blog roll do great things for a website. The organization that WordPress gives to writers is outstanding.

3. Functionality: I overheard my waitress complaining about her Wix website she was running for her restaurant. I asked her what the problem was and she replied, “The calendar is messed up and people are calling and complaining they cannot see the bands”. I don’t know what the issue is but I doubt Wix can compete with the thousands of free plugins WordPress offers.

Both are really good solutions but if you are planning to do a website that needs customization and ongoing marketing/advertising work, I would say WordPress. It’s easy to update, switch out template, add code…ext.

If you are not sure if you need a website or even want one, go with something easy to build and setup—-> that’s Wix. There’s very little risk, knowledge that you need to know to do Wix.

]]>WordPress CMS is a stand alone install of WordPress, located on WordPress.com to download. There is also the free blogging platform WordPress.org. It’s important to not get these confused because if you are looking to have a professional website made, don’t use the WordPress.org platform to buy your domain or setup your website, you’ll regret it and have to move off of the platform anyway. The WordPress.org platform will not allow you the functionality (plugins) to complete your website or let you completely customize the look and feel, this can only be done with the WordPress CMS platform that is installed on a hosting provider.

This is what I highly recommend you do.

Buy a domain and hosting account with GoDaddy

Do the one-click install of WordPress on your GoDaddy hosting. If you do not know how, GoDaddy can help you directly.

Hire a professional web designer to help you complete a professional looking website.

Don’t make the mistakes of setting up a free personal website for your professional business. If you set it up correctly the first time you will save time and money because I promise you, you will end up switching to the stand alone version of WordPress anyway.

Here are a few more benefits of WordPress:

Easy to use

SEO friendly

Can sell products

Most plugins are free to use

100% customizable

]]>WordPress is mainly used as blogging platform and only recently have we transformed it into more. If you are just starting in the blogging world it’s good to know what the difference is between a category and a tag. Knowing the difference can help you organize your posts for your readers in a user friendly fashion. In return, you’ll attract much more loyal followers.

What are categories?

Categories are to categorize your blog posts. For example, if you were writing a review about your favorite car called a Porsche 911. You would create a new post, name it appropriately and then make a category named “Porsche”. In the future, each time you reviewed a different Porsche, you would check this category again. Next time you write a blog you decide to review a BMW i8, you would make a separate category and label it “BMW” and check the category to the right of the content editor.

What are tags?

Tags are for more specific details about the category or the car in this example. Let’s take the Porsche 911 and look at some aspects we can tag the post with. Some tags for the post could be; 911, turbocharger and chassis. Some tags for the BMW i8 would be; electric, i8, coupes and convertible. You can easily add tags to a post right below the category selection boxes.

Can I use categories and tags for SEO purposes?

Yes, if you are using SEO Ultimate as your SEO plugin there’s a feature within the plugin where you can define the title for each one of the tags and categories on your blog. I currently use SEO by Yoast as my go to SEO plugin but SEO Ultimate works too. You can download it here.
